A device (103) for applying an electrical stimulation to one or more muscles of the mouth of the user, the device (103) includes one or more electrodes (132, 133) for applying electrical stimulation to one or more muscles of the mouth of a user and a sensor (140a, 140b, 141a, 141b) for determining the muscle tone of the tongue of the user. Also disclosed are methods and systems for determining a stimulation plan.

Exercising methods using an exercising device to strengthen, tighten and tone midface, lower face, orofacial, oropharyngeal including the tongue and floor of mouth muscles for both aesthetic and rehabilitative therapeutic practices is disclosed. A dual facial exercising device having a pair of triangular tubular shaped body members of a primary triangular configuration joined together at their respective apexes. The combined triangular shaped body defines central openings with equal, compressible, and bendable body members there about for designated placement to perform isometric and isotonic muscle resistance training for a variety of facial and tongue exercises. An exercise methodology with universal placement under the lower lip, upper lip, both lips, unilateral or bilateral cheeks, in and around the outer region of the mouth, inside the oral cavity for hard palate, surface of the tongue and floor of mouth engagement.

Maxillary and mandibular appliances can be mounted to a user's upper and lower jaws. The appliances can include a palatal pad, buccal tubes, hamular notch tubes, and an anterior deprogrammer. The various portions of the appliances can provoke beneficial reactions by muscles in the tongue and jaw area, massage the same muscles, or provide other beneficial effects.

Provided is a device for pulmonary rehabilitation. The device is configured to provide adjustable resistance for a patient during respiratory training on demands so as to improve rehabilitation efficiency. Moreover, the device is configured to adapt a variety of external parts to assist in medication dosing, information processing, and/or sputum removal for the patient during respiratory training. Therefore, optimal efficiency for pulmonary rehabilitation and smooth experience during respiratory training for the patient can be achieved.

A mouth exercising device defines a first direction and a second direction along a first axis, a third direction and a fourth direction along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis, and a fifth direction and a sixth direction along a third axis orthogonal to the first axis and the second axis, and includes an outer body having a first body and a second body arranged along the second direction, and an inner body extending between a first surface of the first body that faces the fourth direction and a first surface of the second body that faces the third direction.

A device (103) for applying an electrical stimulation to one or more muscles of the mouth of the user, the device (103) includes one or more electrodes (132, 133) for applying electrical stimulation to one or more muscles of the mouth of a user and a sensor (140 a, 140 b, 141 a, 141 b) for determining the muscle tone of the tongue of the user. Also disclosed are methods and systems for determining a stimulation plan.

A positive expiratory pressure-generating device for reducing breathlessness in a subject with one or more pulmonary disorders is disclosed. The device is rigid and hollow and can be held in the mouth of the subject. The device has at least one air chamber, at least one opening in the portion of the device that is held in the mouth and at least one additional airflow orifice. The device is configured to increase expiratory resistance and can be supported by the mouth of the subject without the need for additional support by hands, another device or other means.

A device configured to exercise facial and neck muscles and related methods are provided. The device operates by applying static and/or dynamic external forces to the muscles of the modiolus area of the face and related ligaments. The device includes a pair of bars that may be connected by a rotatory connection or by an expandable horizontal connection, each having a proximal and distal end. The proximal end of each bar includes a modiolus holder. The modiolus holders are shaped to partially fit within the user's mouth, and when fit to the modiolus area by the separation of the bars, brings the modiolus holders in tight contact with the modiolus area. This movement secures the insertions of the muscles attached at the modiolus, allowing these muscles to be stretched, therefore creating resistance to their contractions.

A multifunctional mouthpiece exercise device is provided. The mouthpiece-based exercise device provides a cord terminating at each end with a loop portion, a mouthpiece movable along the cord, two weight fasteners for cinching a weight in both loop portions, and two adjustment sets adapted to selectively set a distance between the mouthpiece and each of the loop portions. The mouthpiece is dimensioned and shaped to fit the mouth and along the neck and the shoulders of a user so they can perform at least three exercise routines for their face, neck, and shoulders, respectively.

A mouth exercising device defines a first direction and a second direction along a first axis, a third direction and a fourth direction along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis, and a fifth direction and a sixth direction along a third axis orthogonal to the first axis and the second axis, and includes an outer body having a first body and a second body arranged along the second direction, and an inner body extending between a first surface of the first body that faces the fourth direction and a first surface of the second body that faces the third direction.
